And we Americans are to do what? Let em go right to hell! This is a country who just made a convicted cop killer a honor citizen of Paris. The faster the frogs slide into the manure pit the better.

Not as ghoulish as thousands of French leaving their elderly in understaffed nursing homes while they enjoyed the August holiday.

Pride cometh before a fall I think the proper saying is more like: "Pride Goeth...before an ass-kickin'"

I love the way that the stats are at the end of the article. We all should be assigned to memorize these numbers and what they mean.

And now the extrodinar hot summer results in an abundant grape harvest which = a larger than normal wine output. So supply deflates prices which is bad enough. Worse, the US market is totally dead to a market of oversupply.
You could (but won't by a bottle of French wine for $2.50. Maybe this year they can turn their grapes in jam and sell it at roadside Stuckey's truckstops. F the French.

French lawyer, economist and historian Nicolas Baverez, in an essay entitled France is Falling, suggested that the social and economic degradation had been building up over at least 20 years.That's charitable. I'd make it more like 60 years. Maybe a few hundred. (Churchill should have shot de Gaulle when he had the chance. I bet he considered it.)

I heard on the news yesterday that the unusually hot summer has fried the wine grapes this year.Yes but the cheese and feet will be extraordinarily smelly this year.
